Pip's Bucket World Tour

I call this my special Poo Book. Its a lovely red and is a gift from a loved one. Its still wrapped in plastic. Haven't written anything on it yet. Just want to keep it like this for a while. It should be filled soon.

Why Poo Book?

This book is made from 75% elephant dung and paddy paper. Don't worry. It doesn't even smell :) Its perfected in Sri Lanka from Maximus.

Its also about conservation and saving the Elephas Maximus. Hopefully this “Elephant Dung” paper will help to provide a sustainable environment for man and elephant for a long time. Both will in sing in harmony and a beautiful relationship will co-exist.

Variations in the elephant’s diet, age and dental state give each batch of paper a unique colour and texture. Colour varies with the type of food consumed: Coconut, Kitul or Jak. Texture depends on whether the Elephant is able to chew the food or not. Fully digested fibre gives the paper a smooth finish while half digested fibre makes the paper coarser.

I wonder how old was the elephant and what it ate to give me a beautiful red book. I love my poo book. Thank you Stormy! Happy trails to you.
